The SuperValu release was certainly not cheap when you consider what you are getting is a 4 year old whiskey in an ornate bottle for 78 Euro. When are we going to see an actual release from Dingle which will be their flagship brand or is it all going to be 'super-premium' releases for a collector type market rather than a drinking market.???

I suspect we are going to see limited releases for some time at least. Dingle do not have a large production capability. From their own perspective, there are plusses and minuses. My local offie where I got issue 1 was not given any issue2.......they do not like Dingle as a result. There is a danger.....and Dingle must manage it.....that they will be seen as moneygrubbers creating "scarcities".

Against this, Dingle did not buy in whiskey and pass it off as their own. It is a genuine new Irish whiskey.

They did have Dingle 8 yr. old, Dingle 16 yr.old and Dingle Gold to get their name out there.Admittedly the first two were very scarce and I bought them up at their stand @ 'Whiskylive'in 2012 but to be fair I did not see them elsewhere. Cooley stock I believe!

I bought a Dingle 16 miniature in the Temple Bar shop two years ago. Almost drank it on the plane on the way home, but had something else instead. Now I'm glad I didn't! Looks great in the collection next to the Batch 1.
